He was singed for a while. He had nose surgery after getting it crushed 2 fights in a row
Not super thrilled for this fight for Rory. If Daley connects with his schnoz, this could be over fast. I would rather have seen him against maybe a wrestler or jits player who had rudimentary striking.
I preferred the MVP match up for Daley. Maybe they are keeping MVP wrapped in cotton wool for a while longer.
Outside of getting caught, Rory wins this standing or on the ground.
This is an interesting puzzle for Rory. Daley has some of the best stand-up in the game, but is lacking in other areas. If Rory can mix up his striking well with his wrestling this could be an easy fight for him, but if he can't then Daley could be a very dangerous opponent.
